"Yeah, his style of play isn't EXACTLY what we wanted," they will say. "But he's not Louis van Gaal and he'll bring winning ways back to the club… so it's a great appointment for us."

A fair enough assessment. Sadly, the internet never forgets - and as you'll see in the video above, it wasn't too long ago that fans of The Red Devils had a slightly simpler opinion of their new manager.

The first part of the clip comes from Chelsea's visit to Old Trafford in August 2013 - a game which saw Mourinho's side hold United to a 0-0 draw.

And as you can see/hear, it featured a resounding chorus of "F*** off Mourinho" from the Old Trafford faithful.

NICE.

We've also dug out another clip, from United's 2-0 Champions League win against Inter Milan in March 2009 - an Inter side then managed by Mourinho.

Have a listen to the delight with which "Bye, bye Mourinho" (Inter were knocked out that night) rings around the stadium.

All water under the bridge now, of course - but a little reminder to the new Man United manager that the club's supporters aren't necessarily his biggest fans…
